The purpose of this website is to share with all my friends/family (and anyone else out there who cares...or doesn't) a bit about myself and the adventures (past and present) that I have managed to get myself into over the years.

We've been in Guatemala the last few weeks. We spent some time up north seeing Tikal and at the moment we are in a town on Lago Atitlan...it is absolutely beautiful here. We'll be in Guatemala for another week but we're looking forward to a visit from Jodi's Mom on May 1. Journals and pictures are way behind but you can always see where we are by clicking here!

We are still in Belize at the moment but should be headed to Guatemala in the next couple days. Everything is going phenomenal still and we have had an amazing time in Belize...a small country that was A LOT to offer. We spent time diving in the Cayes, and saw some great ruins like Lamanai. We also spent a few days doing great hikes in Cockscomb Wild Life Sanctuary and finished up with the incredible ATM tour near San Ignacio. Slow/No internet has limited my postings but a couple new journals are up today along with pictures. I also added a new interactive Google Map that shows our progress!

The Quest II is rolling along great. We arrived in Belize yesterday after spending 3 great weeks in Mexico. We saw some great unknown places like Rio Lagartos, and also were impressed by the beauty of places like Cozumel. We got wet swimming in the Cenotes near Tulum and saw one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza. I've posted a few more pics and a journal today and will continue to get things up as fast as I can. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day everybody! It's the day for love so I'm spreading the love and putting the site back up for now. Be warned; I'm still making a lot of changes...there were will be some missing pages and broken links. I've added about 1500 pictures from the past 1.5 years. Tons of new pics in Boston and Voyages sections so if you've seen me and my camera since August of '06, you're probably in a few pics. We are in Cancun now and everything is going great...still in decompression mode and I'm going nuts trying to get this site to where I want it before we really get going. More upates will follow soon.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FOR TODAY: Tomorrow I'm boarding a plane for Cancun and The Quest II will officially begin. It has been 3.5 years since it was just me and my backpack, bouncing from place to place, seeing what kind of madness we could get into. I can't wait to get it going again and this time there's an added twist: The rollercoaster will have another passenger. My girlfriend Jodi has decided to join me in the world of the wandering. Who knows what great adventures await us...click here to go to the new Quest II page and follow along...

Hello to everyone out there. I know from this main page, it looks like the site has not been updated, but many pictures continue to be added to both The Voyages and the Boston section. Both are still behind, but if you haven't been here in awhile, check them out...especially the pictures from a trip to Panama from last Xmas/New Year's. Also, I'll be doing the Pan-Mass Challenge again this summer. It's a 84 mile bike ride that benefits cancer research. Anyone wishing to donate to the cause, please click here. There are many more pictures I'll be putting up throughout the summer, so keep checking back!

This website turned 5 years old today. I cannot believe what it has grown to since it's meager beginnings. Looking back, it's allowed me to keep one gigantic snapshot of what has been an incredible journey over the past 5 years. Without it, so many memories and faces would have faded away (hey, I'm an old man!) As I browsed through it today, it made me realize that the THOUSANDS of hours have been worth it and it gives me an appreciation for the magnitude of all I've done since 2002. Thanks to all who visit. I hope to continue on with this amazing project for many years to come.
